'''Rausten''' (pronounced {{IPA|ˈɹaʊstən}}<ref>L'Arachel in {{FEH}}</ref>; Japanese: {{hover|ロストン|Rosuton}} ''Roston'') is one of several prominent countries established on [[Magvel]]. It is the most openly religious of Magvel's established houses and holds the [[five heroes]] and [[Legend of the Sacred Stones|their legends]] as well as the [[Sacred Stone (object)|Sacred Stone]]s in even higher regard than the others. | |||
Rausten borders [[Darkling Woods (location)|Darkling Woods]] to the west and [[Jehanna]] to the south. Similarly to [[Frelia]], Rausten relies on the sea for food production to at least some extent.<ref>{{cite|'''L'Arachel:''' Speaking of Frelia... Oh, I remember, the seafood was delicious there. | |||
'''Innes:''' Yes. I would agree that the fish of my homeland is not unpleasant. | |||
'''L'Arachel:''' Yes. However it does not compare with that of my home, Rausten. | |||
The | '''Innes:''' Is that so? I know not what fish your country has to offer, but I have a hard time imagining they could be that much tastier than our own. | ||
'''L'Arachel:''' Your doubt is not surprising. Once this war is over, you must come and visit Rausten. I think it best if you try a wide variety of our fish for yourself.|[[L'Arachel]] and [[Innes]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> | |||
As of the [[Timeline of Magvel|year 803]], Rausten is ruled [[Mansel]], a claimed descendant of Latona. | |||
==History== | |||
===Foundation and general history=== | |||
Rausten, like the other [[Sacred Stone (object)|Sacred Stone]] bearing countries of Magvel, was founded shortly after the defeat of the [[Fomortiis|Demon King]] by its respective member of the [[five heroes]], saint [[Latona (character)|Latona]].<ref name=founder>{{cite|Rausten's founder, Saint Latona the sure-hearted, shattered his fetters. If one possesses a strength of will beyond that of normal men... Only then can one throw off the shackles of the Demon King.|[[L'Arachel]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> One of Latona's most famous exploits was the ability to free himself of the Demon King's possession at some point during the original conflict.<ref name=founder></ref> | |||
The country has kept the saint's [[Sacred Twins]], [[Ivaldi]] and [[Latona]], as enshrined national treasures with the country's Sacred Stone into the modern day. | |||
Due to the country's close proximity to the resting place of the [[Fomortiis|Demon King]], incursions of [[monster]]s born from his sleeping body in [[Darkling Woods (location)|Darkling Woods]] are not an uncommon occurrence and have taken the lives of many of the country's inhabitants over the years, including the parents of L'Arachel.<ref>{{cite|...My parents were kind people. I would be like them if I am able. My home of Rausten is so near to Darkling Woods. We experienced many sudden raids. My parents took it upon themselves to defend our people against the monsters.|L'Arachel to Eirika|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> | |||
===During and after the War of the Stones=== | |||
In terms of direct military involvement, Rausten did not openly join the [[War of the Stones]] until late into the conflict, being unaware of its magnitude. [[Eirika]] of [[Renais]], with the blessing of [[Frelia]], set out to warn Rausten of [[Grado (nation)|Grado]]'s aggression though she encountered many setbacks in this endeavor, delaying Rausten's direct full involvement. | |||
The niece of Rausten's Pontifex [[Mansel]], [[L'Arachel]], did, however, take it upon herself to travel [[Magvel]] with a small personal band of guards at her own fancy and was known to have been aware of the strife across Magvel during the early stages of the conflict. Due to her wanderings and her high status she was able to alert Rausten to Eirika's [[Hamill Canyon|plight at Hamill Canyon]] in the later stages of the conflict. | |||
Afterwards, Rausten attempted to aid Eirika's forces in [[Jehanna]] after the fall of the Jehannan palace, but was mostly kept at bay by Grado's forces until Ephraim's and Frelia's army arrived from the fallen Grado capital. | |||
Rausten Court was the final rallying place of Eirika's and Ephraim's combined forces before entering Darkling Woods; on the night before their departure it was assaulted by [[Riev]], the remaining of Grado's generals, in an unsuccessful attempt on Mansel's life. Much of the palace guard was killed due to the bulk of Frelia's and Rausten's forces being distracted by Grado's remnant army further south. | |||
The morning after the successful defense of the palace, Mansel provided Eirika and Ephraim with all the funds he could spare to outfit their forces and Rausten's sacred relics. He then saw L'Arachel off on her march to the concluding battles of the war with Grado's prince [[Lyon]] and the monster forces lurking in Darkling Woods. | |||
Several years after the war L'Arachel successfully ascended the throne, taking her uncle's place as the ruler of Rausten. | |||
==Notable locations in Rausten== | |||
===Rausten Court=== | |||
'''Rausten Court''' (Japanese: {{hover|ロストン宮殿|Rosuton kyūden}} ''Roston Palace'') is the home of Rausten's leadership and a central location of the country's governing body. Late into the War of the Stones [[Riev]] assaulted the palace late into the night in an attempt on Mansel's life and the country's Sacred Stone<ref>{{cite|Tonight, we claim not only Pontifex Mansel's sad life, but also Rausten's Sacred Stone! Heh heh heh... You cretin, Mansel... I will have my revenge.|[[Riev]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> he was accompanied by a remnant of Grado's forces fleeing in hopes of escaping a rout by [[Frelia]]'s army.<ref>{{cite|There's been an attack! We think it's Grado's men, fleeing from Frelia's forces.|Rausten soldier to [[Mansel]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> | |||
===Melkaen Coast=== | |||
{{main|Melkaen Coast}} | |||
'''Melkaen Coast''' (Japanese: {{hover|メレカナ海岸|Merukana kaigan}} ''Melkana Coast'') is a specific seaboard along Rausten's northwest. Eirika had originally made plans to travel to Rausten from [[Carcino]] over sea route, presumably landing along this specific coastline to accomplish this. During the war itself she was unable to due to the seas being deemed unsafe at the time due to rumors of a [[Phantom Ship|phantom ship]] marauding Magvel's coastlines during the war and frightening seabound trade and travel to a stop<ref>{{cite|You see, I find myself heading home once more to my beloved Rausten as well! And actually, I’m quite well known with the powers-that-be here in Port Kiris. So I ordered them to ready the finest passenger vessel for me. But both merchants and passenger ships alike are too frightened to set sail. It seems a giant ghost ship has been sinking every ship it finds...|[[L'Arachel]] to [[Eirika]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> during much of the war. | |||
The coast is seemingly devoid of human settlement and appears to be overrun with [[monster]]s that have strayed from [[Darkling Woods (location)|Darkling Woods]]. | |||
===Mount Mimir=== | |||
'''Mount Mimir''' (Japanese: {{hover|高峰ミーミル|Kōhō Mimiru}} ''Lofty Peak Mímir'') is a peak famed for its beauty located in Rausten. [[L'Arachel]] claims it is one of the most beautiful places that one could hope to visit on Magvel.<Ref>{{cite|If it is beauty you seek, then Rausten is second to none. Do you know of Rausten's lofty peak Mount Mimir.{{sic}} I pity those who die without having gazed upon its breathtaking beauty.|[[L'Arachel]] to [[Innes]] in a [[support]] conversation|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> | |||
